problems. a group of scientists from cornell university spent more than a year studying the germs of the subway system as they would swab the benches, hands, rails, seats, doors, and subway trains and stations. the majority of the samples were harmless, but some did turn up the dead fragments associated with anthrax and the plague. a lot of the bacteria discovered were associated with food, pet particles, and dirt trapped on to the trains. san francisco-based see's candies says that some boxes shipped for valentine's day may have been mislabeled containing nuts. they are warning people with allergies to avoid eight-ounce boxes labeled with classic red heart with assorted chocolates. the candies were shipped nationwide and they could be returned for refunds. so far fortunately no illnesses have been reported. here is a live look at

convention in redwood city and hey even the mcarthur maze. westbound to eastbound 580, they are attending to the roadway flooding there. and that they will be headed there early for sunday morning. probably develop more spots as the morning progresses. right now rainfall is really coming down along the entire highway 24 stretch. that is right from walnut creek through the tunnel and then again we do have that flooding. rain has lightened up a bit, with the heavier moisture offshore coming down for the coastline, mid-peninsula, lower peninsula. people have been calling in, tweeting, saying not only is the rain picking up in spots, but starting to get windy as well with a gusty condition for the coastal ranges, but nothing compared to what we would be experiencing later on today. light rain in sunnyvale and cupertino. the rain started around 6:30

this morning. light rain right now through the ride union city picking up heavier rain. as we zoom in here to south bay again, it is not too bad, but again we have warm moisture to the west. as we turn our attention to the east bay, the heaviest rain of the morning, that will affect your ride along highway, i wouldn't be surprised if you see the flooding develop there, here is the wider view on satellite and radar with a classic shape as you can see the cloud cover that will be making a line to the b area with a lot of instability. the thunderstorms are more than likely midday for the east bay valleys, which is something that will continue to track not only are we concerned about the rain, but also the wind with a wind advisory in effect through 10:00 and pretty much everyone. gusts in the 40s to the 50 miles per hour range. future cast tracking the timing of the rain for you. and by 9:00 it looks like the heaviest rain is really reserving for the east bay interior spots. then they will start to lighten up to become very spotty.

the heavy downpours turn to showers by the afternoon as it looks like we would catch a dry break for most of the bay area by 3:00. but the rain is officially not out of here until we wake up early monday morning as it could be wet on your way to work or school tomorrow. in terms of how much rain we are anticipating with the system, some locations could receive a little more than what we saw on friday. three inches for the north bay hill about half an inch for the east bay and the south bay. check out the santa cruz mountains up to two inches with this system. for those of you heading to oakland a's fan fest, bring your umbrellas. giants fans were lucky yesterday. can't say the same for you. rain off and on will start to taper off in to the san francisco, but -- the afternoon, but again the winds could pick up. sustained up to 20 miles per hour over at the coliseum. certainly keep that in mind. your seven-day forecast shows a completely different picture as we head in to next week with a lot of sunshine and temperatures in the 70s. marty? >> all right, erica, thank you. on to other news this morning,

hopeful that she is alive. kayla muler is an aide worker taken back in august of 2013 while she left the hospital in syria. the fbi is protecting her family now in arizona. isis said back on friday that muler died in a jordanian air strike, but the jordanian government says what isis is saying is all propaganda. muler is the only known u.s. hostage being held by the radical islamic group. world leaders gathered in germany on saturday for the munnic security conference to discuss the russian ukraine crisis and whether russia is helping to maintain the peace. the leader haves different ideas on how the crisis should be solved. mary malone has the story. >> president putin has to make simple start choice. get out of ukraine or face continued isolation and growing economic cost at home. >> reporter: strong rhetoric from vice president joe biden

addressing the munnic security conference friday. he asserted future agreements with russia must be judged based on president vladimir putin's actions, not his words. >> too many time president putin has promised peace and delivered tanks, troops, and weapons. >> reporter: western leaders in kiev say that they have been providing weapons, training, troops to pro-russian separatists, fighting against the ukrainian forces. but they insist that the country is committed to peace. >> we are against the combats, we'd like to see a withdrawal of heavy weapons. >> he did not discuss the possibility of moving u.s. troops to the region, but asserted the ukrainian peoples rights to defend themselves. and the u.s. providing them security assistance. german chancellor addressed the conference prior to biden taking a different tone. >> this crisis cannot be solved by management means.

>> they met with putin in moscow on friday in following that meeting she claimed that prospects for peace in ukraine are uncertain. >> the president of the united states and the chancellor. >> she is scheduled to meet with president obama on monday in washington. the leaders are set to discuss the ongoing conflict in ukraine, i'm mary maloney reporting. the department of justice says the six worked together to send material and money to terrorist groups including u.s. military uniforms and tactical gears sent to iraq and syria. the u.s. residents immigrated from bosnia and lived in new york, missouri, and illinois. five people have been arrested. the sixth person is overseas. embattled news anchor brian williams is temporarily stepping away from nbc nightly news for several days as questions continue to swirl about his memories of the war coverage in iraq. he has apologized for falsely saying on the air that he was

in a helicopter hit by the rocket-propelled grenade while in iraq of 2003. williams later backtracked saying he was on a different helicopter, trailing behind the chopper that got hit. the pilot who said he was flying williams helicopter admits that he is unsure if they came under fire. several other soldiers said that he was piloting a different helicopter in the area. much more ahead as we would continue our storm coverage here on kron4 news. we want to take you outside for another live look, the approach of the bay bridge. plenty of water on the pavement. we have the forecast standing by. we'll be right back. fe a cd so comg on on abra cahealt ins few as twond aalf ys wn usedt thfirssign it penettes ep a stas to wo immiate

last night. and it was cal's fourth straight win, the third win in a row that the bears had won with a three pointer towards the end of the game. they are now hitting the road beginning thursday at colorado. happening today the a's will have their fan fest later on this morning. that will be held at the oakland coliseum as you should take your umbrella. admission is $10. parking at the coliseum is free. the event runs from 10:00 in the morning until 4:00 this afternoon. even though it feels like winter, giants fans are looking forward to spring as tens of thousands of baseball fans lined up around at&t park saturday for the giant fan fest. those who made it in to the park got a chance to meet their giants, their favorite giant players, get them autographs and also celebrate the upcoming season. and they brave what could have been a wet introduction to the season. >> my wife kept looking at the weather as we would take a chance on it, no problem. but it really feels like

opening day. so today it could be snowing and the fans would be here with us, fantastic. >> whatever the weather is, we have had rain on our parade and we love this as we have sunshine today, you'll love that too. >> with the pitchers and the catchers set to report to camp in just ten days. and for more on fan fest for both the giants and the a's, you can join jason and dick roberts tonight for sports live 9 at 9:00 right after kron4 news at 8:00. let's go ahead and take you outside for another live look. golden gate bridge as we continue to track the storm. we have the forecast standing by, an updated forecast when we come back.

as we take a live look to show you exactly where they are headed as they would move east. we have team coverage of the storm continuing now with our meteorologist erica kato who will tell us about how the storm is shaping up. >> good morning, marty. we have seen the impressive rainfall totals, only raining an hour and a half to two hours to where you are, but the heaviest rain right now is up towards highway 4, east of fairfield as we are dealing with an inch per hour. but frankly that the strongest impulse with this system, that it is pretty much out of here still seeing the moderate showers develop offshore, but most of this will pass through the bay area in the next hour and the rain will certainly lighten up by the end of the broadcast. so let's zoom in here to see where the heaviest rain is currently falling again. at about three quarters of an

inch to an hour. highway 24 leading down to the tunnel and in addition to the rain, finally we are starting to see the reports of the roadway flooding where it is affecting northbound 880 at washington and even the local streets in the san jose area. redwood city itself, dealing with the moderate rainfall right now, the rain is starting to lighten up along the coastline, still dealing with the consistent downpour. as we take a look at the south bay, even they are getting a little bit of the break tweeting these saying that it will be like a steady light rain there, but nothing compared to what they saw about 45 minutes ago. and so as we would need to take a look at the rainfall totals, it says 24 hours measuring the 24-hour rainfall total, but only raining for about two hours. as we have seen the impressive

amounts we could see more rain than originally forecasted, which is good news. in terms of the wind it is starting to pick up. the gusts up to 50 miles per hour. this will go in to effect until 10:00 tonight. the full details on the wind event as you could keep up with the situation on the mobile app. and for the android and apple devices. standing by at field in san francisco for us, where you have got the umbrella out again, so more rain. >> i don't think they would put

that away any time soon. they were really getting pounded just a few seconds ago actually. all the rain started around 6:30 this morning where you could see them hit the lights, that they would start coming down off and on, where they would make some trouble early this morning and then once that sun came up, the wind also started, even the bigger trees, which right now when things would stop and for the moment that the rain, that it is just a light sprinkle too there in san francisco. annie anderson, kron4 news. >> a live look outside at the bridges on the conditions there, as we take a triple live shot. appears we don't have it, okay, we will get back to you as soon

as we can, but we don't have it right now. mike has been stationed in the north bay. mike? >> reporter: unlike that storm in december, you don't need that kayak, although we're seeing a steadier rain, tapering off just a little bit. here are the conditions we have dealt with so far in the valley at about 7:00 this morning. the rain begins to pour as they have yet to pick up, but it is in effect until 10:00 tonight, likely leading to more down trees and power lines, the same issue that we have seen over the past two days. but for right now, they are contending with the decent downpour and hey, why not enjoy it. >> i like the weather and the rain and working with it. i know people that like that for a long time. >> yeah, i do my laundry and my

coffee, i like it. >> out here in the valley, you might not see that amount of rain. clearly not taking any chances. all right thank you so much. the conditions at the bay area bridges on the left there. not a whole lot of water on the lens, but very wet pavement. we have the heavier rain falling there with a lot of water on the lens at the golden gate bridge as we would continue to deal with the foggy and the wet conditions around the bay area. residents are preparing to hit them later on today and throughout the morning actually, following friday's powerful storm. they're taking a beating on eighth street in alameda, the

offers of the free sandbags to the fire stations. largely they went unclaimed, but that is when they would first end up that it was coming. >> they just about washed out the crossing that runs between their boulevards and mission boulevard. only one remains open through that crossing. much more ahead from watches to the phones, that they will be here to break down what will be next for apple and samsung. >> all i saw was tons of fire trucks and the emergency vehicles. and sorry to say, but a child that was in the road. plus, five people are dead including the gunman after a shooting at a normally quiet georgia neighborhood. we'll hear from the neighbors coming up. another look at storm tracker 4 as we would continue

to track the storm. where it is headed with the rain in the east bay right now. we'll be right back. behold: week night crescent pizza pockets party. pillsbury crescents. make dinner pop. well, i drove grandpa to speed dating this week, so i should probably get the last roll. dad, but i practiced my bassoon. and i listened. i can do this. everyone deserves ooey gooey pillsbury cinnamon rolls. make the weekend pop!

national news this morning, tragedy at a home in atlanta, georgia where police are investigating after a gunman killed at least four people and wounded two others on saturday before taking his own life. among the victims were children. >> all i saw were tons of fire trucks and the emergency vehicles. and a child deceased in the road. >> reporter: neighbors were overwhelmed by the shooting, where children were killed. neighbors took these pictures from next door. >> it is very devastating, especially for the children. >> reporter: they confirmed that the shooter, a man shot

the people and then killed himself. here is what neighbors are telling us. the shooter's ex-wife lives here, shot his ex-wife, her boyfriend, and several kids. the shooter parked his car a few doors down. police took that car as evidence. he is also a neighbor who doesn't know the shooter very well, but his children are friends with the two children shot, describing what he saw. >> the mother was on the floor, the man on the floor. they tried to save the man, but the woman and the wife, she was still moving around. she'd be okay though. investigators are trying to sort out what lead to the shooting. much more ahead as we take a live look outside at the approach of the richmond bridge

as we would continue to track the storm. we have the forecast coming up.

we are following the storm here on kron4 weekend. developing throughout the bay area right now, the heaviest rain is up towards fairfield. moderate to heavy rain along the 880 corridor. take a look at the walnut creek area where the rainfall is falling at a rate of half an inch per hour where the rain has lightened up, but we still have more developing right now. just a light steady rain right now for downtown san jose. but as we would turn our attention over to evergreen light rain there and a drier break down. check out the east bay dealing with the heavy rain that has lightened up a bit as we have seen over half an inch of rain develop with more on the way. so here is a look at your wind advisory in effect through the entire bay area. sustained winds between 20 to

30 miles per hour. gusts in the 40 to the 50 miles per hour range. so the strongest winds, they will be for the coastal ranges and their higher elevations in the north bay with the toppled trees, down power lines, all a possibility with this system. the future cast would highlight the 9:00 hour and the heaviest rain is expected for the east bay, but beyond that, we will start to see the heavy downpour type of rain that we've been dealing with turn in to scattered showers, which is what we will be dealing with. but the wind is expected to pick up later on today. keep them handy until early monday morning. when we are all said and done with this system that we could see up to three inches for the higher elevations in the north bay and about half an inch for the north bay. maybe more than half an inch for those of you in the south bay as we will certainly take what we could get. a completely different story in to next week with a lot of sunshine, dry conditions, where it looks like the mid-70s a possibility as we head in to valentine's day. don't forget you can track the

storm wherever you are by downloading the mobile app for both your iphone and android devices. we learned this week that the apple ios has taken back the majority of the u.s. market share from android for the first time since 2012. dent expect the bat -- don't expect the mobile device battle to end any time soon. mark, good morning. >> good morning. >> you made it in okay through the rain. >> a little wet, but okay. >> all right. so what lead to this turnaround by apple? they have steadily been closing the gap, but now they have taken the lead again. >> yeah, the last quarter was really big for them. a number of things sort of converged. they have their fourth quarter of the year, which kept coinciding with the holiday shopping season. >> sure. >> and they just announced fairly recently in september that they announced a couple of big phones for them, which size wise is big and volume wise big. >> yeah. >> the iphone six.

and so this is turning out to be a real thing for them. that it has been a big hit. >> yes, it has. and really the main thing is that a lot of people, they were waiting for apple to create the phone with a larger screen. >> yes. >> both of these have larger screens, but that they would have a 4.7-inch screen. and the iphone 6 plus has a 5.5- inch screen. so people, they were kind of waiting, holding out to get a new phone until apple released these. so you had kind of a convergence on some things there, leading to a big quarter for them. >> so while it has been a huge quarter for apple, samsung falling behind, losing ground to the iphone six and the galaxy s5 has been losing ground. what is going on there? >> yes, the galaxy has been a disappointment if you look at the numbers for samsung android

phones that you will see that the s3 is actually most prevalent out in the wild. the number for them says that they would expect to sell 30% more of those phones by this time than they have. and so it is an interesting thing in a lot of ways that samsung has sort of lost their mojo in smart phones, especially going up against apple that they kind of lost the wow factor in their phones, even though a lot of their phones are spec by spec more powerful than iphones. >> what do they do? >> they do the s6, which is the new phone that, you know, us phone geeks have been talking about for months now. they are going to be releasing this phone march 1 at a big industry event. >> just a couple weeks away? >> yeah. >> there is already a lot of

excitement and hype around this and a lot of leaks of the schematics of the phone. it is probably going to have a heartbeat monitor on it. it is going to have rounded corners. you know, it seems like it is going to be a bit larger than the iphone 6. and it will have a very powerful samsung processor in it. >> so we will look forward to that as we talk about heartbeats on the phone. the apple watch that i was suppose to have that and so much more. what is new on that front? are we expecting to see that this year? >> definitely. the newest thing on the app front as tim cook said during earnings that it will appear in april. there had been a lot of speculation about that. and some talk that apple had been dealing with software problems with the watch, which i completely believe. i think that they have a few thousand of them out in the field and they are kind of bug checking this thing. >> some of the lucky employees get to wear them. >> in fact i spotted one on

munni just the other day. and had an interesting conversation with that gentleman. but beyond all that, i'm a big believer in this thing that it will be a very big device. i'm not quite sure how big, but i think they are going to sell a moderate amount of these things during the first year, but as it starts to add capabilities, i think that people are going to really gravitate towards this device. >> we will wait and see as it is coming out in april. you mentioned the new samsung phone in march as it will be a great time for these two titans as they battle it out. >> yeah. on the other side, samsung has been doing smart watches to be competing with the apple watch. they've been doing, they are on their third or fourth generation actually. and samsung has gotten a lot of experience with smart watches that pair with their phones. >> right. >> and actually that it is one of the main criticisms of the first generation of these

things that they would rely on your smart phone a little bit. >> to do a lot of the heavy lifting. >> yeah, i think what people are waiting for, what i'm waiting for is to be able to go to starbucks without my phone and just go like that and pop your watch up there and pay for your latte. >> that'd be fantastic. one thing that promises to be fantastic as well that is coming up is your mobile summit later on this month. tell us about that. >> oh yeah, it is fantastic. we are going to be getting together about 150 of some of the brightest minds and the brightest companies in mobile marketing automations. so you could imagine walking many to a store and having your phone. being detected by the geek in the store and then maybe being served with the coupon. that there are all sorts of technology that will be growing up around the field. many of these companies, they are around here. and that it is just going to be a great conversation about that technology. >> it sounds fascinating as it has been an enjoyable discussion to figure out, you know, where all of this is

going and where all the giants as they would battle it out for the market supremacy. mark, thank you very much. mark sullivan from venture beats. thanks for joining us. we'll be right back.

and our developing story that we continue to follow for you this morning. the bay area getting pounded again by another round of rain as we take a look at storm tracker 4. you can see the storm is headed to the east and we still have pockets of heavy rain especially in the north bay and in parts of the livermore valley as well. good morning everyone, i am marty gonzalez. we are here in center with erica. thanks so much for joining us we have seen this trying to move east. now, we are waiting for the heavy rain. >> yes it is almost out of here and still impacting some of you in the far inland east bay. offshore we are not talking about any strong

reduction in crime. our chief joining me this morning to talk about the progress that our city is making and how police are getting it done. first of all congratulations on this decrease in crimes. we want to put up some numbers here just how much crime has dropped, briefly, how are you doing it? >> there are many things we are doing it, we have fully embraced community and policing problem solving. it is a philosophy that's been around for 40 years. >> yeah, it is not new, it has been around. >> you are right it works in agencies and urban and rural large and small. we really created a common thread of community or policing problem solving throughout your organization. >> what does it mean? >> the police department engages in entrusting relationships with the community to reduce crime and the fear of crime in the community. it is based on

three components. building trust and the second component is the organizational transformation at every level of the organization hiring, training and promotions and policy strategies and everything we do. community policing is the common thread. the third component is problem and police using, identifying the problem and crime and disorder and apply strategies to reduce the issue and the crime. >> let's go back to first one of the trust. because of this summer we have been dealing wi ferguson and places. the issue of trust and law enforcement and community, how do you get that trust back. >> well, first there is no performance measure that is really a metric for trust and for community ement. it is difficult for us to

analyze andine of trust. to build relationships through openness and honest conversations about our relationship. it also requires that each of us take a step forward, us being the police department and the community. we step forward to create a better and safer community. >> it is based on transparency. we are opened to answer questions our community has and we see it as an equal partnership between the community. >> let's take a look at some of the numbers we have. you see the violent crimes are down some 22% which is a huge change in one year. now, granted the number is not very high. >> certainly. >> sure, you still brought it down by a huge percentage same with robberies and aggravated assaults. tell us a little bit about what is behind

that is it what you mentioned earlier of community policing? >> we think it is a large part of it. if examine the third way of cops, if you can envision a triangle, the three sides are the defenders and the place and the guardian. the defender is the suspect that wants to steal or attack someone. the place is a location, a home or a business. the guardian is a capable guardian that if someone typically, the most visible is a uniform police officer. the present of a capable guardian will dissuade the offender. we are in the field and we have continued to have a robust visible presence in your unit and our officers are in uniforms

and in neighborhoods and they are visible in the feel. they are the presence of the capable and willing and trusted guardian. we are influencing the place. reaching out to our community about lighting and blocks and all those things that we know influence the place to make the place less likely to have crime occur. >> one thing that you have done is you checked out several places that are likely to be high crime areas and you cleaned up and become visible with your patrols. >> we have, we reached out to our richmond police department and our partners in law enforcement, we reached across the building departments and we reached across the code enforcement and we really entered the intersection of bringing the various discipline and

expertise and experience to the table to resolve. not only crime problems but problems of disorde we believe our continue ed continued presence and the transformation that we have made has made a difference. i think this statistic really supports them, marty. ? how long did it take you gto get to this point. >> it takes a long time. we believe this is the biggest change we have seen in decade. i think it is a credit to a whole bunch of things. like i said, there is not a metric that we can measure. the relationship and the trust but certainly there is a correlation between cops being the way that we do business and this reduction. we are continuing the conversation it is an ongoing effort but we are committed at every level the organization in making it work and making it the place to live and work and play. >> and a safe place.

>> congratulations and to you and the community and keep up the great work. >> thank you. >> thanks for joining us, we'll be right back.
